Modern Britain: 1885-1955
ISBN: 9780393003680 / Angielski / Miękka / 1966 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two main themes engage Professor Pelling, as he examines the events of these seventy years: Britain's external difficulties and her gradual recognition of the need to alter her political and economic relations--not only with her "Empire" but with all other nations as well--and the social and political conflicts at home. At the turn of the century, Britain was a strongly imperialist nation. Increasing rivalry with foreign countries for markets and pressure for reform and an increased standard living at home brought about the changes in foreign policy and internal affairs of the first decade...

The Labour Governments, 1945-51
ISBN: 9781349174331 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book, by the author of the best-seller 'Winston Churchill', is a concise reassessment of the first postwar British Governments based upon original sources - a task not previously attempted by any scholar. While sympathetic to Labour's aims in the 1945 general election campaign - which itself receives fresh treatment - Henry Pelling exposes areas of difficulty and weakness in the Government's strategy and uncovers the doubts and hesitations of its leaders. Much of the evidence comes from official papers recently released to the Public Record Office; but the private papers of Attlee,...

Adaptation to Climate Change: From Resilience to Transformation
ISBN: 9780415477505 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The impacts of climate change are already being felt. Learning how to live with these impacts is a priority for human development. In this context, it is too easy to see adaptation as a narrowly defensive task - protecting core assets or functions from the risks of climate change. A more profound engagement, which sees climate change risks as a product and driver of social as well as natural systems, and their interaction, is called for. Adaptation to Climate Change argues that, without care, adaptive actions can deny the deeper political and cultural roots that... The impacts of climate change are already being felt.

Together with three new studies, they form...
